Default 97 auto trans power limits

I want to buy a 97 corvette and do a motor swap. How much power will the auto hold? I have a 408 thats making 532 rwhp and 491 tq N/A in a 6 sp (t56) Camaro. It is a nitrous motor but I haven't sprayed it yet.

You'll definitely want to look into finding a built 4l60/4l65e unit.

My 4l60e broke on my 97 WS6 with just a catback and 3.73s at ~106k miles. Then you have guys cutting 1.5 60s all day on stockers. Flip a coin, really.

Another vote for the coin here...
But really... You won't know until you try it.
